Hi Vincent,

In the latest Confluence version 5.9.x I've tested this functionality and it works. I was able to insert a image from another website as a link and when I exported to a PDF it retrieved the image in the file.

I recommend to upgrade Confluence to the latest versions in order to achieve this functionality.

Cheers,

Rodrigo
